Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in establishing and managing WPANs like ZigBee, WLAN, and UWB networks due to complex input processes and frequent collisions, especially in limited areas such as buildings and apartments, where a systematic input system is lacking.
Innovation Solution
A communication system that converts regional information into network connection information, using a terminal apparatus to generate and transmit PAN IDs and channel information, avoiding collisions by allocating unique IDs and channels based on apartment addresses and floor numbers, facilitating easy network establishment and management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually input network information (PAN IDs, channel numbers) to establish WPANs, then network establishment is possible, but the process becomes complex and difficult for ordinary users
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing terminal apparatuses to automatically obtain and input network information (PAN IDs, channel numbers) through regional information lookup, eliminating the need for manual configuration by users. The terminal apparatus autonomously queries the server using regional identifiers and receives the appropriate network parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
A server acts as an intermediary between terminal apparatuses and network information. The server stores regional information mappings and provides network parameters to terminals based on queried regional identifiers, simplifying the user interface to just regional information input while the intermediary handles the complex network configuration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple networks are established in a limited region without systematic allocation, then network coverage is provided, but frequent collisions occur between networks
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by allocating network parameters (PAN IDs, channel numbers) based on specific regional identifiers such as apartment numbers, floor numbers, and building identifiers. Each region receives uniquely tailored network information, ensuring that networks in different locations use different parameters and thus avoiding collisions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes network parameters systematically based on regional information. By mapping regional identifiers to specific PAN IDs and channel numbers, the system dynamically adjusts network parameters according to location, ensuring unique parameter sets for each region and preventing parameter conflicts between networks.
3Manufacturing precision
If professional network information input is required, then accurate network configuration is achieved, but ordinary users find the process difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses copying by having terminal apparatuses automatically copy network information from the server based on regional identifiers. Instead of requiring users to manually enter complex network parameters, the system copies pre-configured, location-specific network information from the server to the terminal, ensuring accuracy while simplifying user interaction to just regional information input.

AI summary
Disclosed are a communication system and a control method thereof. The communication system comprises a terminal apparatus for converting regional information or position information into network connection information, and a communication apparatus for performing network communication by generating a data packet comprising the network connection information. In the communication system and the control method thereof, a number, a floor and a room of a building, a number of a shelf, a multilayer, and positions of goods are input, so that a network having no data collision is established, and thus a user conveniently use an office/home network service. An integral input system for network connection information is provided using regional or position information, so that communication is stably performed without using an additional manager.
